Sarah Williams trained in contemporary dance and ballet at private studios in Vancouver. She augmented this learning with workshops in the US and across Canada.

After dancing for several leading choreographers and companies in Vancouver, Willliams moved to Montreal to join La La La Human Steps. Since then we have seen her on stage and in film, performing in the works of prominent directors and choreographers like Robert Lepage, Jean-Pierre Perreault and Léa Pool. Williams has been a guest artist in Halifax, back in Vancouver with The Holy Body Tattoo and recently in Montreal with George Stamos and Louise Bédard Danse. She has collaborated with Welsh performance artist Eddie Ladd, with photographer Cylla Von Tiedemann and with peripatetic artist Don Gill on The New Flâneurs exhibit. Williams has also choreographed for performance and video, (frequently collaborating with musician/composer Jackie Gallant).

On three separate occasions Williams has commissioned, co-produced and performed full evenings of work.

What artists are saying

Where should I begin? Performance Mix provided a consistent (year after year after year!) performance venue for works in progress that was just the right mix of openness and curation. Audiences were always plentiful and varied, not the usual downtown dance scene in crowd but truly filled with different sorts of people. Performance Mix also provided employment in the form of teaching in the public schools which was a lot of work for you, and a little much needed income for me. You’ve always been out there making opportunities for others. It made a huge difference in the arc of my career.
